Lyrics:
אחת שאלתי מאת ה׳ אותה אבקש
(I have one question to ask G-d and that is all I'll ask)
שבתי בבית ה׳ כל ימי חיי
לחזות בנועם ה׳
ולבקר בהיכלו
(I want to dwell in the house of Gd all the days of my life, to see the radiance of Gd and enter his sanctuary)
(Psalms 27 - תהילים כז )
Father, bring me back to you
Back into your loving arms
I've gone so far, so far from home,
but I'm begging bring me back to you,
Back into your loving arms.

This song has been a prayer and a journey for 3 years now. From my first time playing and singing it on a journey through Poland, witnessing the destruction and horror of the holocaust with my NCSY (TJJ-AP) family as a staff member, to praying this song together with people all across the world, different countries, background, and stories. Prayer (TeFEELah) offers us the ability to transcend our own smallness, and connect with something so much bigger than all ourselves. For me that is what this song embodies. I poured my heart, soul, and tears into every moment of this in the hopes that perhaps, it can touch the soul of even one person who needs to hear it. I pray that these words become a prayer on the lips of anyone yearning to return to their father in heaven.
